2.1. Registry Installation Options

Oracle Service Registry can be installed in several different configurations, depending on customer needs. Standalone Registry Configuration With a standalone registry installation, there is a single instance of the Registry, shared by service publishers and service consumers. This is the simplest configuration, and allows for immediate sharing of service information. It is the most common choice for initial testing and evaluation use of the Registry. Multi-Registry Configuration A multi-registry deployment is appropriate for environments where organizations want to impose more control over the contents of the registry available to service consumers. This quality control process is enabled by separating the Publication and Discovery Registries, and using an Approval Process to control promotion of services from staging to production. This approval process can be configured to use either manual or automated approval of promoted information. • Note that each registry requires a unique tablespace and schema within a database to serve as a metadata store. However, both tablespaces and schemas can be created safely within the same database instance. In addition, one or more Intermediate Registry instances may be installed. An Intermediate Registry sits between one or more Publication Registries and a top-level Discovery Registry.

2.2. Command-line Options

Installation may be launched with following optional arguments: java -jar oracle-service-registry-11.1.1.jar [[--help] | [-h] | [--gui] | [-g]] [[-u configfile ] | [--use-config configfile ]] [[-s configfile ] | [--save-config configfile ]] [--debug] -g | --gui starts the installation in gui mode default. -c | [--console] runs command-line installation -h | [--help] shows help messages -s configfile | --save-config configfile saves the installation settings into the configuration file without actually installing the registry. The configuration file contains all passwords entered in the installer. The passwords are normally encoded. If you want clear-text passwords, specify also option -t | --save-clear-text -u configfile | --use-config configfile installs the registry using the settings contained in the configuration file. --debug the installation produces more information to localize problems or errors.
